I have to say that that is not accurate.
From what I've seen, it's more like this:
People: Blah blah, on-topic blah
Aeris: You guys are all handicapped!!!!
People: Flame Aeris, blah blah blah
Then the topic becomes a flame war.
No, I always post on topic first, get flamed for it, then move on. Or, if I'm having a bad day, I argue back.
